Kate walked down the stairs, slowly, with her eyes barely open. The knocking continued.

"I'M COMING!" she yelled.

She was always cranky when people woke her up. She swung the front door open, and took one look at the person on the other side before she swung the door back shut. Tyler slammed his hand on the door, stopping it in its tracks.

"Wait!" he called out.

She slowly opened the door back all the way and leaned against it. She was wearing a big t-shirt and had no pants on. She still had her black eyeliner and mascara on from last night. She had gone to bed with Ashton and had been too out of it to think about taking her makeup off. Kate gave him a displeased look but allowed him a chance to speak.

"Can I come in?" Tyler asked.
"Fine." Kate croaked back.

She had lost her voice from being rowdy the night before. Tyler walked past her and jumped up to sit on the kitchen island. Kate stood in front of him, leaning against the other counter. She rubbed her eyes and pulled her t-shirt up. She didn't remember to put a bra on before answering the door.

"I'm sorry about last night."
"Ohh, are you?" Kate said, sarcastically.
"Yeah. I am."
"It's alright. I get it. I get too drunk all the time." Kate said while mildly laughing at herself.
"I was being a fucking idiot." Tyler shook his head while laughing too.

"The thing is though... I was mad." Tyler admitted.
"What'd I do?!" Kate defensively raised her voice.

"Nothing. I was just, uh, jealous." Tyler let out a nervous laugh.

Kate noticed that Tyler looked increasingly uncomfortable. He nervously rubbed the side of his face with his hand. Kate watched him, wondering what he was waiting to spit out.

"Look, Kate... Would you let me take you out to dinner?"
"Why?" she asked.

Kate didn't understand what he was getting at.

"So I can be the only one buying you dinner."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"I don't know... I don't like seeing you with other guys." Tyler admitted quietly.
"What? ...Like Ashton?"

He rubbed his face again.

"Yeah. So will you let me take you out?" Tyler asked again.

Kate paused for a minute. Her mind was telling her not to, but her heart was saying something else. Something potentially reckless.

"Come onn..." Tyler pleaded.
"God you're persistent!" Kate teased.

Tyler jumped off the counter and walked towards her. Kate wanted nothing more than to rip his clothes off and fuck him right then and there. He stood inches away from her, looking down in to her bright green eyes. She looked back into his eyes, and saw something reassuring. She could tell he meant every word he was nervously saying.

"I've just got a good feeling about this." Tyler said.
"Fine." Kate answered.

She ran her fingers through her hair, tucking it behind her ear. The shirt was falling off one of her shoulders, exposing her skin. Tyler resisted the urge to grab her and have his way with her. He wanted her to know that sex wasn't the only thing he wanted from her.

Kate stood in front of the large mirror in her bathroom. She was curling the ends of her long, straight, brown hair. She was only in a white lace La Perla bra and matching panties. She wasn't planning on letting Tyler see the set, but luxurious items always gave Kate a weird sense of confidence. She unplugged the curling iron, and grabbed her dress off the back of the bathroom door. It was a perfect white summer dress with scalloped hems and small cut outs on the side. It showed off her soft bronzed skin in a sexy yet dignified way. Her coral painted nails unzipped the short dress, and she slid her toned legs in through it. She touched the white bow in her hair, and ran her fingers through her locks. She shut off the light and headed towards her closet. She opened a golden safe that was stowed away off to the side, and grabbed a gold men's Rolex from one of the many boxes inside. She slid it on her tiny arm, and the watch looked luxuriously oversized. She loved wearing men's watches for some reason. She grabbed a pair of red Christian Louboutin slingbacks, and walked down the stairs. She put them on in front of the large mirror in the front hallway, and took a deep breath. She walked next door and knocked on Tyler's door. He knew that she had the tendency to be late so he had suggested that she come over when she was ready so that she wouldn't feel rushed. It's not like she needed a lot of time to get ready at all, she was just extremely distractible and disorganized.

The door opened, and Freddy was standing in the doorway. Tyler walked up behind him, while fidgeting with his tie. He was wearing a dark navy suit, with a crisp white oxford, and a light blue printed tie. He smiled when he looked up from his tie, seeing Kate in front of him. Tyler looked a little nervous, which was nice to see for once. He always made it seem like he was always unfazed by girls, yet he was thrown a little off by her. He wasn't the only one nervous, though. Kate's heart beat faster like an excited little girl when she saw him. He was hands down one of the hottest guys she had ever met. He was exactly her type. Kate leaned in and kissed his cheek to greet him. With that, she had given him the reassurance that he needed in that moment. When she stepped back, he was able to check her out. He shamelessly scanned her from head to toe. She had that hot girl next door look. He liked how she wasn't surreal looking like most people in the public eye.

"You two lovebirds have fun!" Freddy yelled out, teasingly.

He shut the door behind them as they walked away, laughing.

Tyler stepped in front of her in order to open the door for her. Kate thanked him and graciously walked through the door. They began walking in the direction of their apartment building. Tyler saw that Kate was rubbing one of her arms, trying to warm herself up.

"You cold?"
"Kinda. It's no biggie though." Kate answered.

Tyler immediately slid his long, muscular arms out of his blazer and put it around her. It looked like you could fit two of her into that jacket. Kate looked up at him, smiling, and thanked him. It was only a short walk home, and thankfully there were very few people on the street with them. They laughed and talked the whole way home- never an awkward silence or dull moment. There was an undeniable chemistry that neither of them had ever really felt before. Less than ten minutes later, they had arrived at their building. They made their way through the apartment lobby, the elevator, and finally to their floor. The conversation trailed off as they reached her front door, and Tyler started to inch closer to her. He thumbed the edge of his well-tailored blazer as he watched her bright green eyes. He pulled on it a little, making her a bit closer to him. He stared at her big lips and subconsciously licked his. Kate bit her bottom lip, trying to make them harder to resist. There was this palpable connection between the two of them that felt electrifying. They were like magnets drawn to each other with every molecule of their being.

"Are you gonna kiss me or not?" she teased him.
"I didn't know if you'd let me," he admitted, ashamed of his lack of courage.

He then grabbed her face on either side with his massive hands, and leaned down. He waited for a millisecond, with their lips touching, until he pushed his against hers. Kate heard him breathe in, as if he was anxiously holding his breath, waiting. Each time Tyler's lips touched hers, Kate became weaker. She felt like she was giving in to the force that had been pulling her towards him for weeks now. Each kiss was invigorating, and passionate beyond belief. After minutes of making out, Kate backed away and told Tyler that she had to go to sleep. She shut the door in his face before he could even respond. She knew that if she hadn't removed herself from the situation right at that moment, that she would probably make the mistake of sleeping with him on their first date. She leaned against the back of the door, while Tyler was still standing just on the other side. Both unknowingly shook their heads at the same time while smirking.
